Flying The Procedure Turn; Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide For Cessna Nav - Garmin G1000 Reference Manual

SECTION 5 – MFD

Flying the Procedure Turn

The procedure turn portion of the approach is stored
as one of the legs of the approach. For this reason the
G1000 requires no special operations from the pilot (oth-
er than flying the procedure turn itself). This example
is based upon a flight from KILG (Wilmington, DE New
Castle County) to KMIV (Millville, NJ Municipal). The
approach into KMIV will be NDB or GPS RWY 14 with
the RNB transition.
1. Select KMIV as your destination, via the Direct-
To key or as the last waypoint in a flight plan.
Press the PROC key and select the NDB or
2.
GPS RWY 14 approach. From the transitions
window select RNB as the IAF (select 'LOAD?'
to load, but not activate, the approach).
3. Once you are cleared for the approach,
press the PROC key and select "ACTIVATE
APPROACH?".
4. Within 30 nm of the destination, the G1000
switches from enroute mode to terminal mode.
The switch to terminal mode is accompanied
by a gradual scale transition from 5.0 to 1.0
nm, full scale deflection.
5. Several miles prior to reaching the IAF (RNB),
you may wish to review the approach sequence.
Press the FPL key to display the Active Flight
Plan Page. Press the small FMS knob and turn
the large FMS knob to review each segment of
the approach. When finished, press the FPL key
again to return to the previous page.

6. As you approach the IAF (RNB), a waypoint
message (NEXT DTK 327°) appears in the navi-
gation status bar on the PFD. As the distance
approaches zero the message is replaced by a
turn advisory (TURN TO 327°).
7. Fly the outbound course keeping the CDI needle
centered.
8. Once you have flown approximately one minute
past the IAF, the message (START PROC TURN)
appears.
9. Turn left to a heading of 282° to initiate the
procedure turn. No guidance through the
procedure turn is given. The procedure turn is
displayed in magenta indicating the active leg.
The CDI needle starts moving to the right.
10. After approximately one minute, make a 180°
right turn to a heading of 102° to intercept the
inbound course. The G1000 sequences to the
inbound leg to the FAF, the CDI needle swings
to the opposite side to provide proper sensing
along the final course segment and "NEXT DTK
147°" appears in the navigation status bar on
the PFD.
11. As the CDI needle starts to center, make a right
turn to 147° to intercept the final approach
course.
12. At 2.0 nm from the FAF (RNB), the G1000
switches from terminal mode to approach
mode. CDI scaling is tightened from 1.0 to
0.3 nm, full scale deflection.
13. As you reach the FAF, the message (NEXT DTK
147°) appears and the destination sequences
to the MAP (RW14map, the runway threshold).
Keeping the CDI needle centered, fly toward
the MAP, observing the altitude minimums
dictated by the approach plate.
